It's been a difficult start for Everton this year, a team accustomed to finishing in the top five of late, but struggling to remain in the top half to start this season. A rash of injuries to key personnel such as Mikel Arteta, Phil Neville, Phil Jagielka, Steve Pienaar and Victor Anichebe has had manager David Moyes juggling the side to find some momentum. While some of the injuries have been more severe than others, the hope is that November will find the majority back and in match fitness.

And that couldn't come at a better time as Everton has a key opportunity for points against this week's opponent in West Ham Utd, a team that has had its own problems to start the season. Tune in to Everton TV for full match coverage along with expert analysis, interviews and all the latest news.
